It may be because of the familiarity with them since childhood. In too many British dramas, American dramas, Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, domestic urban dramas, and even costume dramas, many heroines will have scenes of taking a bath in the bathtub when they experience important things. It may be a breakup to vent, it may be to relax and enjoy, or it may be preparing to go to meet the male lead.
Therefore, there is a bathtub that can take a bath anytime, anywhere, which is the NO.1 in the dream home of many girls.
After a girl grows up, she has her own home and enough choices, and she will try to put such a small world of freedom in her own home. Today, I will talk with you about the magic weapon of this urban beauty: the bathtub.
.01
Type of bathtub
There are two main types of bathtubs: built-in and freestanding. The built-in bathtub is divided into two types: wall-mounted bathtub and central embedded bathtub.
The freestanding bathtub is the “foot” bathtub that we often see, and the very expensive one is called the chaise longue. There is also a type without feet, collectively known as a freestanding bathtub.
Compared with the two, the outside of the built-in bathtub does not need to be cleaned, the countertop can have space for toiletries, and the floor area is smaller. The free-standing bathtub is convenient to construct and easy to maintain. It is suitable for the situation where the floor of the home has been renovated and a bathtub is purchased on a whim.

Type of bathtub
The material of the bathtub is divided into acrylic, cast iron, steel enamel, artificial stone and so on. At present, 90% of the bathtub materials on the market are acrylic, mainly because of its low price and many styles.
However, the acrylic material is not resistant to high temperature and pressure, and it will age and yellow after three years of use. There are many brand types of cast iron materials to choose from, such as Kohler, which has a high market share, and TOTO from Japan.
The advantage of cast iron is that its material is strong and can usually be used for more than 50 years. Many cast iron bathtubs in foreign countries are used for generations. It’s just that the shape is single and the price is not close to the people. The slightly bigger brands are generally tens of thousands.
Of course, there will also be friends who have watched a lot of costume dramas. It is not impossible to buy a wooden bathtub, but the wooden bathtub has a short life and is easy to crack. In addition, if you have used a foot basin, I believe you will not be swayed by the slippery basin. strangeness…
Finally, let’s add the more high-end bathtub material on the market – artificial stone. Beautiful and expensive (about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan), one sentence introduction is full of domineering: abandoning the shortcomings of acrylic bathtubs, ceramic bathtubs and cast iron bathtubs, and producing high-quality bathtubs.

size of bathtub
Generally speaking, the standard area of a bathtub is 160×70cm. The length of this size range is mostly 1.5m~1.8m, and the width is mostly between 56cm~75cm.
In terms of installation, the distance between the bathtub and the opposite wall is generally 100 cm. If the space is not enough, the distance between the bathtub and other walls or objects should be at least 80cm.
